Guild Wars 2

please dont tell me these will be available outside of SAB or something

Is this something someone data-mined? If so, not everything data-mined makes it into the game. There are many, many examples of such items.

Methinks your comment about that item should be less worry about it becoming available outside Super Adventure Box, and more elation that they’re working on new things with Super Adventure Box.

Here you go

For people who dont know, Storm Wizard weapons are from completing SAB world 2 in tribulation mode.

Better to post it early to show Anet that I dont like the idea. If its released, its too late.

Think we’re still looking for context here. Why do you believe they may be offered outside of SAB? Is there some data mined indication we are mising?

It’s been datamined by that_shaman. People on reddit are speculating that it will be a PvP track reward.

Gee, I’d be more excited about the map that was data-mined, personally….if I were to put much stock in such things.

Edit: I see Wooden Potatoes has a video out about it. Most interesting!

It doesnt make sense in the existing reward structure of SAB. You had to get 1 item from all 3 zones of a world to craft a tribulation weapon. Even if it would be a random drop inside SAB it would devalue the weapons, since they are proof of you beating that world in tribulation mode.

They’re probably just updating the achievements, adding a collection achievement or adding it as a rare drop to the storm wizard. They’re just recolored and meant to identify where they came from, so if they were going to add them outside of their world, they would probably change their color.

If anything, this is a simple sign that they’ve been working on the SAB. They could have simply intentionally put this in the game data just so people would talk about it, since people were just complaining about the lack of it.

It could work just fine in a slightly revamped structure. In the old system, you got those 3 parts, then bought a “pattern” item of your choice from Moto (if you wanted a sword, you got the sword pattern, for instance) then put those 4 items in the forge. Then you got whatever Storm Wizard weapon you wanted from the output depending on which pattern you threw in with the other 3 parts.

For the box, they could have you gather the 3 parts, then buy a generic “Storm Wizard Weapon Pattern” from Moto, thus giving you a box instead of a specific item from the forge.

Alternatively, they could potentially just give you the box itself from SAB for beating all 3 worlds in Tribulation Mode, with you getting the box from the chest after the boss. Which would be slightly annoying as it would probably require you playing through all 3 stages in a world simultaneously, but it could happen.

It’s been datamined by that_shaman. People on reddit are speculating that it will be a PvP track reward.

That would be awesome. More PvP tracks and eventually, I hope, WvW tracks.

Are you kidding me? Turning the only skill based rewards in the game into a mindless grind (= pvp tracks) is not awesome.

I don’t like them outside SAB tbh. Hope that’s not the case, SAB skins should be acquired… inside SAB!

Cause mashing buttons is skill.

[Here is where you can attach that gif of any monkey mashing buttons]

Lets clarify : PvP tracks = PvE rewards.

Come back later once that sinks in, then try a new rebuttal.

While I would love to see wvw tracks, I also like having things that say “I was there.” Reward tracks should have unique skins only available from playing wvw or pvp. Rewarding SAB weapons for completing a reward track only gives them a reason not to bring SAB back.

Buying a gem store item and having 8 hours a day to play != skill

PvP tracks are mindless grind. I got r80 and champion title with all classes so I am not exactly new to pvp.
I say no way to this unless its restriced to team arena wins to progress it and takes 5x longer as other tracks.

Good joke. That item is only useful on your first playthrough when you learn the trap positions, if you did it 1-2 times you should die a lot less and finish it in an hour or so.

Might be made for China? Like some previously data-mined gemstore “wallpapers”.

I take it as good news that we may be seeing SAB again soon! After the pleasant surprise of logging in last night to find 4 Ascended trinkets waiting for me, I have the suspicion that these may be rewards for those players who have the Distinction/Honors in Applied Jumping titles (that is, they completed all of the SAB World 1 and World 2 achievements).

Where are my PvE Tracks = PvE rewards? What if I hate dungeons? Tracks would be 10000x better than the junk we get from world events now.

Geh…. that’s definitely a PvP-flavored item. Any other similar things?

I really hope this isn’t available outside trib mode. Currently SAB has a brilliant reward system. Anyone can get blues, which means that the skin type is available to all. Then, people who do trib get a weapon of equal quality, but with the kudos of only being available through trib mode.

It’s exactly what the Fervid Censer and Desert Rose should have been. One for “being there” and one for everyone, but both the same quality.

By all means, put the blue SAB weapons into PvP. But please don’t ruin the only non-RNG based but difficult to get items we have

If they would put this in the game (other then a reward in SAB) it would devalue yet another set of items.

If you want to make those skins available again, bring SAB back again. Best solution.

Yeah it is indeed one of the better reward systems in the game and that is also at least part of the reason why SAB is so popular.
